Buchanan Arms Hotel & Leisure, Sure Hotel Collection ★★★

"Lovely part of the country, great pool and sauna. Bathroom had black mold. Shower had boiling hot or cold, nothing in between. Soap bottle was too solid to squeeze anything out and when we asked for other toiletries were told there’s a shop up the road, we can buy some there. Had a cooked breakfast first morning, never again, settled for coco pops thereafter. Had evening meal second night, never again. Wife spent the rest of the night bringing up her fish and chips. Squashed a chip and oil trickled out. We were assured they would get back to us within 24 hours, 5 days later still waiting."

Kilmaronock Manse B&B ★★★★

"Kilromanaock Manse is a countryside hidden gem. We loved meeting the hosts who were gracious. They managed to squeeze us in a very busy local pub where we had a delicious farm to table dinner. Great experience, great conversation, great food and a memorable time!"

The Drymen Inn ★★★

"I honestly think the food at the Drymen Inn is second to none in the village. I had a lovely cheese and tomato toastie served with coleslaw and salad, and the highlight of the meal was the soup — a beautiful homemade tomato soup. It was so good that I asked to speak to the chef, a young man called Fraser, just to tell him it was the best soup I’ve had in years. The barmaid also made an excellent coffee. Honestly folks, if you’re in Drymen, give this place a try. The food is fantastic, the service is outstanding, and it’s five stars all the way!”"

The Clachan Inn ★★★

"We’ve been here many times and it’s always great. We’re were so surprised to see the extended restaurant which looks great. As always the food was so well done, no complaints there. My one niggle today was £12.50 for a large glass of wine ! It won’t put me off coming to visit, but it will put me off drinking alcohol so next time we come I will do the driving lol"

Glenlaird ★★★★

"This family-run B&B in a small village is clean and tidy, with a standard breakfast. The owners are both warm and professional. The surrounding area is typical English countryside, perfect for hiking, and there's a castle ruin a 15-minute walk away. A quintessential example of idyllic rural life."

Kip in the Kirk ★★

"What a fantastic place to stay on the WHW. Frances was so welcoming ( scones and tea on arrival). Lovely room and continental breakfast to set us up for the next day. Highly recommend."

Ellanderroch ★★★
